Before the flop, Joseph Cada came in with a raise to 250,000 from middle position. Francois Balmigere made the call, and Darvin Moon came along from the button as well.

Three handed then, the flop came out {10-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. Cada checked, Balmigere bet 550,000, Moon called, and Cada ducked out of the way. The turn card brought the {2-Hearts}, and Balmigere fired another 1,075,000 chips at the pot. After some quick consideration, Moon raised it up to 2,200,000. Balmigere spent little time in the tank before eventually making the call.

The last card off was the {5-Diamonds}, and Balmigere checked again. Moon fired a cool 2,000,000 into the pot, and his opponent tanked for several minutes before sending his cards back to the dealer.

With that pot, Moon crawls his way up very close to the chip leader. He's at 15,000,000 plus or minus a couple green chips, putting him neck-and-neck for the top spot on the board.
